*OFFICIAL CC GROUP CRUISE*"Spirit of the 'Magic'al Dream" CARNIVAL MAGIC, FEB 26,2012

[1tuckersmom]

Just dropping in to say:

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

 

[Koval]

Good Morning Gang...

Happy Good Friday

And Happy Easter to you too Bobbie, and all the SMDer's who believe this way.

"Hop"py Easter to the rest of you :)

 

Well, the sun is shinning, but the air is cold.

Wish I was on a cruise for sure.

 

I am not a big one for Tats, but that is a pretty one.

Dawn has a couple, and will need another one, as she now has two boys, and only one is mentioned on her leg.

 

Gator is a cute name for your Boxer, I hope he doesn't bite like a Gator though. I bet that being off the chain makes him very happy. Some good Loving & Freedom to run around... in no time he will be better.

 

Can't wait to see what is in store for GC...It will be great if there is a beachey Day Resort, with Diving too, so we all can do our own thing, but in the end, end up together.

 

Allure of the seas, beats out the Group for Sheryl :(

Oh well there will be other chances,, Have a great time planning, and cruising. We will want a mini review of Course, that is a long ways off too.

 

Ok, see ya later, have a great day!

I am not a big one for Tats, but that is a pretty one.

Dawn has a couple, and will need another one, as she now has two boys, and only one is mentioned on her leg.

 

I only have my little angel Tristans' name tatted with his little wings/cross. But I highly doubt that this will be my last one. I'm pretty much addicted to ink :o. Other than tats, I'm pretty normal LOL.

My mom told me that morning that she didn't think she would like this one but she really does. My middle son thinks it's a bit big for his 42 yr old mom, but he doesn't say much. Hubby and the other 3 kids all love it!

[satex]

I just hate it when you post something and bam, its gone!

Anyway, Good afternoon SMDers. Another warm day here today. Had to turn the air on as its getting up in the 90's.

Vicki - I have two tat's. One on the left upper arm and the other on the back. Not as big as those, but to each there own. But they are colorful!

Sadie - Gator is a great name for the boxer. Like Marie, I hope that he doesn't bite like one though. I don't understand why people would chain up a pet. My hats off to you and Pat for taking Gator in.

Bobbie - happy to hear that your feeling better. Now if only you could dry out!

Marie - Happy Good Friday to you.

 

I was reading today that the cruise ships take their cruisers to Beach Club Colony or to the Royal Palms and the Beach Club is the one with the diving. I'm thinking that it might be pretty busy in those resorts so we might want to look elsewhere.

 

OK, back later.

[satex]

My shift is almost over for the day, but I just want to take this chance to wish everyone

HAPPY EASTER

[Koval]

Good Night SMDer's

I have to get up before the BCOD

and drag my sorry self to work.

But come 10am, I have a great view of the park and all the little Easter egg hunters...

Best Ten Mins of my day, I'll bet you Dollars to Donuts

Where does that saying come from?

Ok, night all, see ya tomorrow afternoon maybe :p

[ooulio]

Just wanted to say a Happy Easter to everyone even though we aren't going on your next cruise. Maybe the one after will be a good one. I am still having a hard time too trying to book a shuttle from Hobby to Galveston. So much more than Florida. Forget the car rental. I am not paying $500.00 for a 3 day weekend. I couldn't belive more in taxes than the rental. Boy, do they bend you over for that one.

 

Janet, good luck with your not smoking. I know you can do it. We had 3 more people at work all quit. They are all doing good.

 

Kathy, What part of Florida did you move to? Someday , we hope to move down south if the economy ever picks up and we can sell our home up here.

Still doing my rescues with the dogs. Hopefully, someday people won't be so stupid and stop throwing their dogs away. It is so sad especially down south is really bad.

 

Everyone have a great EAster Esther

Madelene

All the information is on the busniess pages for the excursions as well as the hotel information. You know this one is going to be a blast:D.

HAPPY EASTER to one and all.

[LINDO53]

Just in case y'all don't know, Peggy is going on a 7 day out of Galveston and she's not taking me:mad:. That's alright, I just won't take her to Alaska:D.

[DVC Sadie]

Good Morning Everyone, Hope ya'll had a great weekend.

 

For those of you in the center of the US please stay safe from all the storms. It appears as if both the Ohio and Mississippi rivers may be overflowing by next weekend.

 

Pat and I are leaving in 4 days for a cruise so we'll be off the boards for awhile.

 

Gator is doing well and he hasn't bitten anyone.:)

[Koval]

Good Afternoon Smder's

Welcome Pam and Dale

 

This is so exciting seeing so many of the former Group(s) getting back for another cruise.

No worries to anyone just joining this SMDer's group

It is Not really "Magical" what happens with us,

We are just that way Naturally, loving all new and old sibs alike.

 

So who else wants to join in on the fun of a Cruise with the SMDer's ?

[Fungusgnat]

I'll bet you Dollars to Donuts

Where does that saying come from?

:p

 

'Dollars to donuts' is a pseudo betting term, pseudo in that it didn't originate with actual betting involving donuts, but just as a pleasant-sounding alliterative phrase which indicated short odds - dollars are valuable but donuts aren't. The phrase parallels the earlier English betting expression 'a pound to a penny'.

 

Best wishes to cruising friends!!!!!! :eek:

Hi Vicki, we were posting at the same time...

I'd bet on Doughnuts, as the dollar is loosing value as we type, but doughnuts are good to the last bite...LOL

[satex]

Good afternoon SMDers. Now its getting just down right HOT. They say that tomorrow its going to break a record and be 99. What happend to spring?

As for everyone in the midwest, please stay safe. They say that the storms are going to be very bad, so take cover (and send me some rain!)

Vicki (fungusnat) - you should join us on the Magic cruise as you are part of the family! Speaking of family, how are Bob and Pam? They should also come along. All are welcome.

Marie - how was your Easter and are you drying out yet?

Welcome Pam and Dale (again)

Sadie - can the rest of us go on the cruise with you? My next one isn't until June and I can't wait. Anyway, we know that you and Pat will have a great time.

[doddsm]

Checking in again, don't get emails of posting unless you post once in a while.

 

Good news here, dressed up for Easter and found my long lost Mexican Meds in my nylon bag. Guess I forgot where I packed them on the ship. Really I thought TSA removed them, so stopped looking. LOL
